They routinely lament on twitter that there surely must be more important things than conservatives focused on Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, the Libyan disaster, the Syrian disaster, the growth of ISIS, the resurgence of Al Quaeda, etc., etc., etc. They lament that we are a frivolous society easily distracted from important things. They give awards to deep thinkers who write 20,000 word | Read More »

Over the weekend we saw American songwriter and rapper Cee Lo Green headline a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Atlanta. Never mind the fact that the Left continues to lecture us about civility in the midst of Green singing the unedited version of his song, “Fu*** You,” while flipping off the crowd. The presence of this popular artist headlining an Obama rally shows once again | Read More »

First, let’s refresh people’s memory of what happened. For those without video: basically, what happened was that after Joe Biden Opened His Mouth and announced that voting against the President’s job bill would result in more rapes in Flint, Michigan, Jason Mattera of Human Events confronted the Vice President on Biden’s statement. If you watch the video, you’ll see that Mattera ‘ambushed’ VP Biden by | Read More »

Bobby Jindal wasted no time assessing this administration’s approach to fighting terrorism, mocking Obama’s strategy as a “treatise on social justice.” In part two of his exclusive interview with HUMAN EVENTS, the Louisiana Governor argued that Obama’s inability to talk honestly about radical Islam stems from the President’s erroneous perception of why the threat even exists. “We just need to give these poor people more | Read More »

Either Tim Geithner has elephant-sized chutzpah or he’s completely clueless. How else to explain his insistence that Congress follow the Obama plan to spike taxes on the top income brackets? Forget for a moment that it is sheer economic lunacy to raise taxes on any quintile when our country is struggling with anemic private-sector growth, coupled with the fact that we’ve had unemployment above 9% | Read More »

After Donald Berwick’s controversial recess appointment to head the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), his allies claimed that he was preparing a “point-by-point” rebuttal to his critics. Berwick does have a lot of explaining to do, after all. He’s publically romanticized Britain’s government-run healthcare and is on the record arguing that most cities should ration the “number of centers engaging” in “cardiac surgery,” “neonatal | Read More »

…65, is it? Well, that’s a little early. Still, being in a condition where you have to have your aides physically intervene every time you get asked a perfectly reasonable question about government waste is a little, ah, problematical: Hot Air has more; Jason Mattera, of course, is the new editor over at Human Events (and welcome, by the way). He also seems to have | Read More »

Jason Mattera is the guy you better get familiar with quickly if you haven’t already. Famous for ambushing Democratic congressmen and asking them straight forward questions that still make their heads explode, Jason has advanced conservative online guerilla journalism ably.And now he’s my counter-part at our sister publication, Human Events. Jason is going to be helping Tom Winter over at Human Events and largely overseeing | Read More »

My friend Jason Mattera just had his first book published. It’s a great read about liberalism and whatever the kids these days are calling the kids after Gen X’ers — millennials or some such something.Jason has a terrific take on how Hollywood and the left have really attracted youth and, in effect, lobotomized a generation.The book came out today. Jason sent me a copy the | Read More »

Via Peoples Press Collective. Yup, that’s what we Republicans are. Selfish. YAF/Hot Air TV correspondent Jason Mattera undercover at an ObamaCare rally outside Democrat Rep. Jim Moran’s town hall. The comment is early in the video, but the entire thing is well worth watching and quite enlightening. A misunderstanding about the selfish people comment almost turned into a scuffle. These people have really short fuses | Read More »
